Smiling and waving flags, Iranians
from across the political spectrum
welcomed President Hassan Rouhani
home Saturday with cheers for his
historic phone conversation with his
American counterpart. But pockets of
anger over the new contact between
the two enemy nations signaled chal-
lenges ahead.
Hard-liners opposed to any improved
contact with Washington made their
objections clear as several dozen pro-
testers chanting "Death to America"
tried to block his motorcade in Tehran.
The semi-official Mehr news agency
reported that at least one demonstrator
hurled a shoe --- a common gesture of
contempt in the Middle East --- in
Rouhani s direction. Other reports said
eggs were thrown at his car.
"Dialogue with Satan is not hope
and prudence, " some chanted, using
the Rouhani s campaign from the June
presidential election.
Rouhani supporters, meanwhile,
greeted him with placards thanking
him for seeking peace instead of con-
frontation. One banner read: "Yes to
peace, no to war."
Friday s 15-minute phone call
between Rouhani and President Barack
Obama capped a week of drama revolv-
ing around Rouhani s participation in
the annual UN meeting of world lead-
ers.The Iranian leader now has the dif-
ficult mission of trying to unite the
country behind his outreach to ease a
three-decade-long estrangement with
the US and move toward a possible
settlement to roll back sanctions
imposed over Tehran s nuclear program.
The West says Iran s program aims at
developing weapons technology, while
Tehran says it is for peaceful purpos-
es.The effort appears to have the critical
backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei. But even the endorse-
ment from Iran s most powerful figure
is not enough to silence criticism of
the fast-paced developments during
the past days.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, who heads the
foreign policy and national security
committee in parliament, was quoted
by Iranian media as saying that the call
showed Iran s "might." But the hard-
line rajanews.com news website said
there was no justification for Rouhani
to talk to the "Great Satan," its term
for the United States, and that the con-
versation was "a strange and useless
step." (AP)
Iran leader's US outreach
meets praise, some anger
A supporter of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, holds a local newspaper with a headline that reads, "historic call
from a return flight," upon his arrival from the US near the Mehrabad airport in Tehran, Iran, yesterday. Iranians
from across the political spectrum hailed the historic phone conversation between President Barack Obama and
Rouhani, reflecting wide support for an initiative that has the backing of both reformists and the country's
conservative clerical leadership. AP PHOTO
